Book Description
Dans les pays du Sud, les relations entre tourisme et développement durable font l'objet de vifs débats. L'argument principal en faveur du tourisme est fondé sur l'importance économique de ce secteur et sur son taux de croissance. Mais dans le même temps, son développement s'accompagne d'effets environnementaux et sociaux négatifs. Sous quelle(s) forme(s) peut s'opérer un tourisme répondant aux exigences du développement durable ? Comment les représentations et les pratiques des diverses formes de tourisme relevant d'un « tourisme durable » se sont-elles imposées et se traduisent-elles dans les Suds ? Quelles en sont les opportunités et les limites ? De manière inédite en France, cet ouvrage interroge les diverses déclinaisons du tourisme durable dans les pays du Sud et nous convie à une réflexion critique sur leurs mises en pratique et leurs effets, en particulier en Afrique et en Amérique latine.

Tourism and Sustainable Development Goals
Author: Jarkko Saarinen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000487474
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This comprehensive volume comprises some of the best scholarship on sustainable tourism in recent years, demonstrating the rich body of past research that provides a fertile and critical ground for studies on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by tourism geographers and other social scientists in the future. Since the turn of the 1990s many international development and policy-making organisations have perceived the tourism industry, with its local and regional connections, as a high-potential tool for putting sustainable development into practice. The capacity of tourism to work for sustainable development was highlighted in relation to the United Nations’ SDGs, which were adopted in 2015. The SDGs define the agenda for global development to 2030 by addressing pertinent challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and peace and justice. Tourism geographers and allied disciplines have held strong and long-term interest in sustainability issues, and their chapters in this collection contribute significantly to this emerging and highly policy-relevant research field. This book was originally published as an online special issue of the journal Tourism Geographies.

Cultural and Heritage Tourism in the Middle East and North Africa
Author: Siamak Seyfi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000177165
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of cultural and heritage tourism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and the many complexities that heritage sites and tourist attractions face. The MENA region has long been regarded as the cradle of Western and Arab civilisation and is the home of many of the world’s major religions. Because of this, the region is rich in heritage sites that serve as major tourist attractions and as icons of national, cultural and religious identity. However, as this book examines, heritage in the region is simultaneously highly contested and has even become a target for terrorism creating a situation that brought major challenges for heritage management and sustainable tourism development. Many of the region’s innumerable cultural sites are threatened, in some cases by overuse, in others by neglect and, in many, simply by the pressures of economic development. This book is therefore of interest not only to heritage managers and policy makers but those academics who seek to address the delicate balance between tourism development, communities and the tourists who visit such sites in a turbulent but highly significant region of the world.

Archipelago Tourism Revisited
Author: Godfrey Baldacchino
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040129773
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
This timely and innovative book explores the dynamics of inter-island/island-island tourism – also known as archipelago tourism – on the cusp of the post-pandemic epoch. Embellished with illustrative maps and diagrams, the volume examines what novel approaches have been developed, if at all, so as not to repeat past mistakes, and nurture a more sustainable, 'island tourism' business model. It looks at how the political-economic relationship between main and outer islands changed during the pandemic and, if so, whether this shift has had a bearing on current tourism policy. The book also explores how these and other changes are reflected in how: islands are branded; island destinations are marketed; and island transport logistics play out. An array of archipelagos of varying sizes and locations is explored, assuring a global perspective. The book furthers our understanding of core-periphery dynamics in archipelago tourism. The volume will be of interest to students, researchers, policy makers and academics in the fields of tourism policy and planning, sustainability, island studies and development studies.

Progress in French Tourism Geographies
Author: Mathis Stock
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030521362
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book provides an overview of the recent progress in Francophone tourism geography. It focuses on the theoretical advances in social and cultural geography, whereby the symbolic dimensions of tourism and the creation of tourism worlds are key. It puts forward the tourist conceived as mobile, situated, skilled, reflexive inhabitant of places, which gives all its meaning to the expression “inhabiting touristic worlds”. More specifically, this book addresses numerous rarely addressed issues such as the geo-history of tourism, the material cultures of tourists, the digitality and disconnection from digital technologies in National Parcs or the use of knowledge of tourists in metropolises. It gives insights in the specific Francophone approaches such as inhabiting, the urbanity of tourist resorts and the notion of territory in tourist studies. Finally, it provides an overview of the urban dimensions of tourism, place-making in the form of heritage, oasis tourism, sports tourism, production of space in Mexican resorts. As such, the book provides a key read for academics, students and professionals in tourism studies and tourism geography in search for alternative approaches.
